The japanese wedding entertain
ment given in the opera house last
Friday evening by the ladies' of the
Congregational church was a source
OF much pleasure to those who attend
oil. During the first part Of the even

Just as they are solemniEed by the
dusky Orientals, we're presented in
costume, on the stage. Alter the
marriage ceremonies the iSvorite song,
selected from the Micado, ,"Three little
maids from school" was rendered by
Misses Blanche Hall, Mamie Stafford
and Emma Beck. Mr.. Blakeney also
rendered q baratone solo entitled
"They never will be missed" After
these exercises supper was furnished
by the ladies and japanese bric-a-

entertainment was q novel one and

netted by the ladies which will 60 to-
ward the support Of the church.
PUBLIC SCHOOL EXHIBITION.
On Monday night the children OF
the public schools presented their en-
tertainment in the Methodist church.
Owing TO the very disagreeable wealth
er many who otherwise would have
attended were prevented, but never.
theless fair audience greeted the lit
tie folks. The exercises we're eompos-
ed of songs, recitations, tableaux and
comic scenes. In all Of these parts the
little folks acquitted themselves very
creditably. The scenes, Musical Sun

church claimed the attendance Of oul
people at the opera house. By wGy o
entertainment they spread a repasi
which old Epicurus himself would
have gloated upon. Nothing whicl
the palate could suggest. was lackinI
and the utmost attention was bestow
ed lest the wants Of any might not b
satisfied. The severity OF the woath

pleasure they would have found in Al
tending, and also decreased the hnau

merited. In addition to the supper

abe jury returned verdict of guilty
and sentence of five yesrs in the peni-

A High Tribute,

The good men do lives after them and,
though, often, it is not until after death
that their good qualities are recognized !,
it usually comes to light then.
Prof. G. F. Adams, who is now teach
ing German in this city, spent some time
travelling in Europe year or two ago,
and, during one of bis visits to West
minister Abbey, around which SO many
historic memories cling, he was attract
ed by a plain white marble slab contain
ing medallion Of Granville SHARP, upon
which the following tribute was mscrib-
ed:
Sacred to the memory of Granville
Sharp, ninth son of DR.. Thomas Sharp,
Prebsndary Of the Cathedrals and Col
leaiate churches of York, Durham and
Southwell, and grandson of DR.. John
Sharp, Archbishop of York. Born and
educated in the bosom of sChurch of
England. he ever cherished for her in
situations the NEST mistaken regard,
while his whols sole was in
strain "Glory to God in the highest,
peace on earth and good will toward
men," on which his life presented one
beautiful comment Of glowing piety and
unwearied benefcence.
Freed by competence from the neces-
sity, and by content, from the desire, OF
lucrative occupation, he was incessant
in his labors to improve the condition
of mankind.
Founding public happiness on public
virtue, he aimed to rescue his native
country from the guilt and inconsistent
cy Of employing the arm of freedom to
rivet the letters of bondage, and estab.
lished for the Negro Race, in the per-
son of Somerset, the long disputed
rights of human nature.
Having in this glorious cause triumph
ed over the combined resistance Of in
terest, prejudice and pride, He took his
post amongst the foremost Of that hon
orable band associated to deliver Africa
from the rapacity Of Europe by the
abolition Of the slave trade; nor wa.
death permitted to interrupt his career
that act Of the British Parliament bv
which Abolition was decreed. In his
private relations he was equally ex
cemplary and having exhibited through!
life model Of disinterested virtue, he
resigned his pious spirit into the hands
of his Creator, in the exercise of charity
and faith and hope, on the sixth day 81
July, a. D., 1873. in the 18th year Of his
age.
Reader, if on perusing this tribute tc
4 private individual, thou should'st be
disposed to think this partial, or to cen.
sure it as diffuse, know that it is is MOI
panegyric but history.

IT is big thing thing to be king.
Kings have = way Of doing thugs Pc
culiarly their own, which may be fun
for them, but, as in the case of the frogs
In the fable, is death to the subjects.
Advices from West Africa state that the
British consul caused the arrest of King
Jajs Of Oporbs for secretly preventing
the access Of traders to the interior.
King Jaia ordered the natives not to do
any trading except through his agents,
and enforced the order by beheading
$50 Of his subjects as warning. One
warning will be enough for that $50 at
least.
